Hello Model Ship World Members,

 

Just Back into the modelling again since 1982, aim to go along the 1/350 scratch build WWII Diorama.

Based Peterhead, Scotland, other than a small wee shop in Inverurie and a Games workshop Aberdeen, there is nothing close at all to get materials, base or kits even. Internet is the main supplier.

 

Regards

Stephen

Welcome!  You should try New Zealand.  On the other hand, I guess China is slightly nearer and that's where pretty much all of it comes from anyway.  Model shops have long been places that wildly overcharge for average-quality gear for the most part.

 Stephen, welcome to MSW. Were I living in your part of the world I'd be using Cornwall Model Boats as my main supplier. I've order from them in the past and they're a good company, IMHO. Glad to have you aboard.
